292 Tasting Notes
I’ve been drinking comfort teas a lot this past week, and this has become one of them. It’s so sweet but refreshing and light all at the same time. Such a unique tea, I love these mint / marshmallow root blends from 52teas. I think I will go have some more, because it resteeps beautifully.
Preparation
TastyBrew sent me a super cute little sample of this one with our swap, included as a surprise for me. Thank you so much!
It tastes very bread-y, in a way that reminds me of Fat Tire beer. There is also a lovely blend of cinnamon and nuts. It definitely feels like I’m eating a delicious pastry, it’s so bizarre that it’s actually tea and I’m really not eating anything unhealthy.
I have enough to try this one again, but I am definitely going to resteep these leaves and see what it’s like the second time around.
Preparation
I haven’t tried that one, but shipping to Canada is outrageous. So… unless I can get a sample of it in a swap, it’s just not happening for me. Sigh.
Ill be picking up some from the steap shoppe via my mule. Once I do, I’d be happy to send on samples for folks to try. Just need to remind me at a later date :)
It’s that cinnamon swirl bread which has piqued my interest half a dozen times from different sources!!
Still not loving this one, but I’ve found that by mixing it with DavidsTea’s Cookie Dough, it makes a lovely dessert-y treat. I also have noticed that the chemical-y smell seems to be getting better with time.
I much prefer the Marshmallow Treat, though. Yum.
Preparation
I’ve been super busy and also kind of depressed and avoiding being on my computer in general, because I’ve been actively trying to not spend time doing nothing.
But… I have missed logging my teas and chatting on Steepster, so I’m going to try to ignore my shitty feelings and focus on things that make me happy. Like tea! And Guayusa. Especially mixed with a bit of Santa’s Secret. Still, one of my favorite combinations. Yum.
Preparation
GAH.
This tea tastes so much like Big Red gum, it’s like I just chewed on a fresh stick. Amazing.
It reminds me of Hot Lips, but I actually think I like it better – without the hot spice, this is just delicious cinnamon. I would order more of this for sure, if there was a way that I could do it where I wouldn’t become incredibly irritated.
Preparation
I am so glad to finally drink a Harney & Sons tea that doesn’t make me want to immediately place another order.
It’s not that this one was bad, though. It was a lovely blend, I did enjoy my cup, but I found that the delicious chocolate / hazelnut flavor that I was looking for didn’t really show up until after the sip. Then, it felt like I’d just eaten a spoonful of Nutella.
Very good, but I wish I could taste that while I’m actually drinking it.
Preparation
This was very delicious and fresh. I think I would have liked a bit more of the vanilla flavor, but I love how this tea was refreshingly minty without having much bite. Just a nice tingle, like I just brushed my teeth. Super yummy, I am glad I got a bag of this before it disappeared.
Waiting to rate because it’s been a couple days since I had it, and I’ll rate it the next time I drink it.
MARSHMALLOW ROOT IN ALL THE THINGS!
Lol
Word, I’m appreciating marshmallow root too! Whatever happened to Hyperbole and a Half?
mint and marshmallow? that sounds awesome!
I’ve got lots, Mitch, if you want to swap. I’d gladly take more Candy Cane off your hands. :P
